The width of a rectangle is 2/5 its length. Find the dimensions if the perimeter is 42 meters.

The formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is P= 2(l+w). By substituting what we now knowin to the equation:

•42=2(l+(2/5l)). We can have width represented at (2/5l) because it’s now 2/5 of the length. Now add them together to get a single coefficient for l.

•42= 2(7/5l). Multiplying 7/5 by 2.

42= (14/5l). Multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of 14/5, which is 5/14, to get l by itself.

•l= 15.

Now that we now know the value of l, we know that the length is 15m. To find the width of the answer, we then multiply 15 by 2/5, which equals 6. Therefore, the only third option is correct because the length is 15m and the width is 6m.

X =<br><br><br>A. 3<br><br>B. 7<br><br>C. 1<br><br>(Special Segments)
son4ous [18]

Option A:

x = 3

Solution:

Special segments in a circle:

<em>If two secant segments are drawn to a circle from a exterior point, then the product of the measures of one secant segment and its external secant segment is equal to the product of the measures of the other secant segment and its external secant segment.</em>

⇒ 9 × 4 = x × 12

⇒ 36 = 12x

Divide by 12 on both sides, we get

⇒ 3 = x

Switch the sides of the equation.

⇒ x = 3

The value of x is 3.

Hence option A is the correct answer.
